So What Do I Have Here? (1887 N172 Old Judgeish)

You have a Janet H. reprint from the 1970’s. She was a scammer that took advantage of many early collectors with these fake Old Judge cards. She was also the one that made and distributed the fake Henry Johnson E121/E135 cards and the fake Standard Biscuit cards that are often found in collections of many hobby Pioneers. She was obviously using the early hobby periodical that had collectors home addresses and would solicit them that way. I have several of these letters from the collection of a hobby pioneer which I purchased several years ago.

I'd be glad to give it a home along with my other early fake.
To me it's a piece of hobby history, maybe not a happy one, but still.
